Salina police officers found marijuana in a vehicle pulled over for speeding at about 5:10 p.m. Tuesday, according to a report by Capt. Paul Forrester of the Salina Police Department.

Forrester said a police officer running radar at milepost 252 on Interstate 70 clocked a silver 2012 Honda Civic with California tags traveling 89 mph in a 75 mph zone. After signaling for the car to pull over, it exited the highway and stopped in the parking lot of the 24/7 Store, 2230 N. Ninth.

A canine officer detected illegal narcotics in the vehicle, and after a search, officers found 712.6 grams (about 5 ounces) of marijuana and marijuana edibles, along with drug paraphernalia, Forrester said.
